Thank you for submitting your paper to IET Science, Measurement & Technology. The peer review process is now complete. The referees and I feel that your paper requires significantly more work and is not acceptable for publication in its current form. My decision is therefore to decline your paper with encouragement to submit a substantially revised paper. I appreciate that this decision will be a disappointment, but hope that you find the referees' comments (given below) useful in improving your paper.
If, following comprehensive revision, you should choose to submit your paper again, please go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iet-smt. Enter the Author Centre and go to 'Manuscripts with Decisions'. Click on 'Create a Resubmission' next to the paper number and follow the instructions given.
When submitting a revised manuscript, please ensure that all points raised by the referees have been actioned, and include a detailed covering letter explaining the changes made. Note that the revised paper will be treated as a completely new submission and sent out for a fresh round of reviewing.
Please note that you have until the 02-Mar-2017 to make improvements to your paper. If you need more time, it is important that you inform the IET office before the deadline so they may be able to grant an extension. If you are having trouble resubmitting your paper, please contact the IET office directly by replying to this email.
